VSF 1663 out as well

I wonder if this time they decided to make their own version of the Fibritech material, or, as with the previous release, they just use a different shade of Carbotech from this material? In general, 1662 and 1663 please me more than all the latest releases. It seems like it will be pretty cool too, although not sure how they will replicate this powdery blue dial gradient.

In my opinion they should reissue the old classics.
Now that they have better options to make the movements fit in closer to gen measurements, better techniques to make the lume much better, etc.
I would love to see the 088, 187, 210, 113, 029, 087, etc, again.
It’s true that the novelties are tremendously attractive, but those pieces were, from my point of view, much more wearable by people with "normal" economies like me.
I cannot go to work with a watch of 16k € or more. Because it is incoherent with my way of life.

Think the latter, lighter coloured Carbotech would be my guess too...
Still I like this one more than the 1662 I just ordered and would be rude if I didn't have a word with my TD ;-)
All of the above, add the 243, 177, 000 into the mix too, read here that XF were thinking of doing just that, re-release a/some classics.. time will tell I guess.
Surprisingly, I waited for 1662 and in the end I also like 1663 more, although I'm not a fan of blue dials and carbon (or related) cases, but the overall impression of 1663 wins so far. Perhaps because most of the blue dials have a sunburst effect and look shiny, but this one is discreet in its own way. I'll be careful and wait for someone else's QC photos to make a decision.
Honestly of the three this is the one I prefer, I was ready to take 1661 but I was waiting for this 1663. I can't understand how fibratech makes live and how it can be seen in the light of the sun, maybe with a video I clear my mind
I reached out to my TD and he confirms this will be available, he didn’t have any in person though.
